MIEN

In a landscape where the term 'psych' often feels confined and predictable, MIEN stands out as a beacon of true psychedelic exploration, redefining the boundaries of the genre with their innovative soundscapes and bold experimentation.

Since their inception, MIEN has been a confluence of diverse musical influences and shared histories. The seeds of this collaboration were planted back in 2004 when Rishi Dhir, known for his work with Elephant Stone, crossed paths with Alex Maas of The Black Angels during a serendipitous encounter at SXSW. This meeting sparked a friendship and a series of collaborations. Around the same time, Rishi met John Mark Lapham of The Earlies, whose electronic and production expertise would become a cornerstone of MIEN's sound. Robb Kidd (Alex Maas, Golden Dawn Arkestra) joined the band on drums in 2018. These connections eventually led to the formation of MIEN, a band that seamlessly blends their varied musical backgrounds into a unique sonic tapestry. 

With a new album slated for release in early 2025, MIEN is poised to take their audial magic to new heights. This upcoming release promises to be a tapestry of vivid third-eye visions and nocturnal serenades, echoing the spirit of their debut while venturing into uncharted territories. The band’s chemistry remains palpable, with each member contributing their unique sonic palette to create a cohesive yet exploratory sound.
